Region and take part in all Regional activities , We have recently had
a very successful Regional Study day with 200 members from 13 U3As,

by Barbara Lewis.

6. I am so pleased
that the the views expressed by so many U3As in this country is also
being held by U3As overseas, i.e. " that the U3A is a Great Company
of Friends who love meeting,and care a lot about each other", repeating
what Aina from Melbourne, Australia said "Join the U3A and keep
the doctor away".
